You don't need a hydroponics plant for each warehouse, but usually
you'll need 2 or 3 per warehouse. Each one produces a certain amount,
and you'll need to check how much food is rolling into the warehouse,
then how much is rolling out per minute. That's how you maintain your
population. If yours are yoyoing then it's because you're getting
enough food, so another one is showing up, then they're eating the
available food, then it isn't here anymore, so one dies off. You'll
need to balance food production with population. It gets easier (or
harder depending on your point of view) as you complete some of the
research tasks, since those can give you increased production or storage
on various buildings. In the beginning though, (especially since you
don't have a lot of completion rewards) you'll need to have probably 3
hydroponics per housing unit, since typically one housing unit holds
between 50 and 100 population, depending on whether it's next to an
industrial zone or not. Your population needs 3 units of food for each
unit of population, so you'll need 150 units of food incoming to the
living quarters for a 50 population building, and obviously 300 incoming
for a 100 population building.
That gets harder as you increase the size of the residences, but you can
increase the output of the hydroponics too, so it all balances out. You
should be doing research constantly until you have researched everything
you can. I don't know if it's a bug, or if there's a piece of the game
I haven't found yet, but there's 11 items I still have to research, but
they don't show up on my research list, so nothing to do about those.
You'll also want to pick up your reward every day, just click on the
prize, and it's transferred into your inventory, and then you can use it
on the planet you're currently on, or save it for another one, it's up
to you.

Okay so do you think I should have a farm and a warehouse for each
living quarters I build?
I’ll also leave the game to idle while my population has a chance to
grow. So far I have a total number of 59 people, although, it
fluctuates back to 58 and then goes back up to 59, but doesn’t seem to
get much beyond that, so I’ll leave it be for a while.
Thanks again for your help.

Leave the game on your phone say for a week then check back in. You
should have more money generated by your colonies and their
production by
then. It takes them time but it does happen.

When arriving at a planet for the first time and landing you get a very
tight view of that planet. Taking off again then landing again gets
your
ship orbit time around the planet and that's how your exploration
starts
to expand.

Because you haven't explored the entire planet.
I already told you that to get more exploration space, you need to go
back
to space then enter the planet again to expose more of the map to be
explored.
Just click on the button (first on the screen that says space map).
Then
find the planet your ship is on, and click it again, click
details, then
continue.
That will put you back on the planet, with more area to explore.
That's all there is to it.

You don't connect the factories to the ore extractor, you connect
the
ore extractor to the warehouse, then connect the warehouse to the
factory.
You need to be careful though, because to voiceover, the planet
looks
like
a single long line going on and on, but to sighted folks, it's
actually a
square block, so you need to be aware of that, because as you
proceed
with
more complicated layouts you'll need for future missions, you'll
find
that
there are times you build something, and even though according to
voiceover, it's right next to the thing you want to connect it
to, in
reality, it's on the other side of the square, and so out of
range for
the
connection to be made. Just something to keep in mind as you
progress.

Hey guy?s, i?ve just recently started playing galactic
colonies, and
I am
colonizing my second planet, I?m trying to connect my factory
to the
ore
extractor, but the only connections lead to the warehouses, any
help?
I?m
confused why that?s happening.
The other situation I?m having is to complete the mission
status for
the
mission goals is to increase population 75 but I don?t have any
superior
kits for the living area.
So far I only have 20 energy cells, it takes 100 energy cells
to buy
the
starter kit with all the superior kits that I need, and that?s
gonna
take
some bucks which I?m not willing to do at this point.
Any help would really be appreciated, you guys are always there
for
us.

The missions change for each planet. Chances are there's only no
crystals, because you haven't explored enough of the planet yet.
After you explore all of the available squares, then leave the
interface
for the planet, (I.E, go back to space), then open the planet
again,
new
squares will be revealed. You'll find crystals that way
eventually.

Hey guys,
I now play galactic colonies, and the mission is asking me to
sell
computer parts, but there is nowhere to extract crystals on that
planet, does the mission stay available if I try it somewhere
else,
does anyone know?
